Description:

Music by Arthur Sullivan and libretto by W. S. Gilbert
Directed and Fight Choreographed by Matt Hawkins

Wacky, irreverent and as entertaining today as it was when it first opened in 1879, THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE spins a hilarious farce of sentimental pirates, bumbling policemen, dim-witted young lovers, dewy-eyed daughters and an eccentric Major-General, all morally bound to the often-ridiculous dictates of honor and duty. Directed and fight choreographed by Matt Hawkins, the beauty and whimsy of Gilbert and Sullivan’s classic score is suffused in this new 90 minute adaptation with a modern sensibility, hilarious comic timing, and excellent singing.
